I really want to go, but at these prices the tickets for this one game would cover the cost of my whole season.

Accidental repost, couldn’t figure out how to delete:-/

I’m a newbie. First game was October 5, 2019 against Georgia. We live in California, bought a cabin in Sevierville January 2019. A group of friends from CA goes to a new college football venue every year and picked Neyland. Wife and I went to the home opener against Ball State in 2022, and I was...

Lots of folks saying “get a different QB from the portal” as if there is an unlimited supply. I just went down the Portal QB rankings on On3. Apart from Beau Pribula (and his 11/9 TD/INT ratio, the only QB’s with significant starting experience are Eget from SJSU, and Holstein from Pitt, and...

I have been surprised by the crapshoot of HS recruiting. Desean Bishop was a walk on 3star, while Peyton Lewis was a can’t miss blue chip all star. Jesse Perry and William Satterwhite are a similar tale. Ty Redmond looks like a huge find. The real question for this year is whether G Mac and...

I had the same thoughts. The staff has end of year reviews with players and tells them where they stand. For Peyton, I suspect it was “We see you as a role player, someone we can use in short yardage, but don’t see you becoming a starter.” Kids wants to play, so he heads for the portal. There...

I just reviewed our roster… half the team is made up of freshmen and RS freshmen! It looks like we made a conscious to build a roster through HS Recruiting. If these players develop, we should have an incredible team in 26-28, and beyond if all the current recruits sign this week. Saturday was...

We forget that GMac was the #3 QB and #8 overall recruit when he committed, about the same as Faizon. He will be more than fine next year

There are only a handful of true National Championship caliber coaches in the country, coaches who can have their teams consistently in Playoff. (Smart, Day, DeBoer, Cignetti, & Lanning come to mind.) Josh Heupel isn’t there yet, but he’s not that far off. If the OU kicker hadn’t had the game of...

I didn’t know that spiders had balls. Just the boy ones, obviously

It’s hard to tell from the stands. There are 7 fewer rows of seats from 15 yard line to 15 yard line on the Tennessee side. (Used to be 59 rows, now 52) We’re in row 51, and the loss of rows made it seem more quiet. The sound doesn’t bounce off the second deck like it did before. My ears weren’t...

As a physician who has been through two ACL reconstructions, and a total of 4 ACL tears (I don’t have one in either knee now), I can attest to the risks of coming back from surgery to soon. There is no way around the fact that it takes months for the graft to develop a blood supply and develop...

Observations from Coach Heupel’s media session today. - Character matters to him. Words such as “consistency” and “discipline” are like a mantra. - He is teaching these young men more than football. He is teaching them the attributes of someone who is successful in life- Accountability...

2 seats in W $3500

Yes I did! First time ever. I’m way too excited about it.
